NOTE – Supported streaming set-top-boxes must have the appropriate device-level passthrough settings enabled and be connected to a device (TV and/or audio device) that can decode Surround Sound.

Using Surround Sound with Tablo Connect (Remote Access)

When using Tablo Connect, surround sound will ONLY be available on supported devices when using the ‘full quality’ remote streaming setting. However, ALL devices (even those that don’t support this sound profile) can enjoy stereo sound even with ‘Surround Sound’ enabled at any remote streaming quality EXCEPT ‘full quality’.

Similar to changes to video quality settings, switching to Surround Sound audio will be reflected immediately on Live TV and on all subsequent recordings. It will not affect previously completed recordings.

If you don’t receive surround sound audio on live TV immediately after enabling the feature in the Settings screen, reboot your Tablo by tapping the reset button on the back of the unit once.All subsequent live TV and recordings will be transcoded with 5.1 surround sound.
